Lilo and Stitch is one of my favorite all time movies but I really can't blame someone for giving an award to Spirited Away over it. Also, Best Animated Movie has only existed since like, 2000, so none of the movies you need had an opportunity to win.

CRINDY posted:The irony of Emma Watson turning down La La Land, where the actors' inability to naturally sing perfectly was a part of the movie's charm (or at least was sold that way), to take Beauty, where there's no room for error and the fans tear the Autotune to shreds. I'd like everyone in this thread to take a moment and imagine Ryan Gosling's character in La La Land, who everyone had issue with for being really obnoxious about jazz and not the greatest singer, and replacing that with Miles Teller, who exudes a level of unlikability and smarm that is second to none in Hollywood. Like, Ryan Gosling is charming, and replacing him with Miles Teller would have made that movie many degrees worse, regardless of whether you like it as it is. And I like Miles Teller, in the right role.

Sorry to interrupt the growing realization that Disney will not stop until they are Cyberdyne Technologies with animatronic animals instead of Terminators, but A Movie About Ferdinand The Bull Starring John Cena just released a trailer. I actually think casting the human equivalent of a fighting bull to be the voice of Ferdinand is kinda cute, and the obvious "bull in a china shop" gag was good, but the rest of this trailer looks pretty "meh"

That said, the only anime I watch these days are Ghibli, Kon, and Evangelion because I got all anime-ed out when I was 14

I've found that generally, if authors really dislike an adaptation, there's a higher likelihood that it's actually good. Willy Wonka is example number one, but Stephen King didn't like The Shining, and I guess the Tolkein estate had issues with the Peter Jackson trilogy which seems dumb.

The minimalism and surrealism of movies in that vein (I think of Yellow Submarine in the same group as stuff like Fantastic Planet or Belladonna of Sadness) freaks me the gently caress out and I get uncomfortable watching even clips from them. I'm totally fine with grossly violent live action movies, but I refuse to watch movies in that style, even though the three that I named are pretty distinct from each other. Actually surrealism in general can get hosed

I look at this and I can't help but get the feeling that this isn't from the original How The Grinch Stole Christmas at all. The color seems off and the face seems detailed differently. Actually, upon further reflection, it's the brown nose. And also the description below that says that it's from a promo for when they released the original on VHS for the first time. Explains why it's so cheap.

Pick posted:Nah, word has it that LAIKA absolutely churns through animators, and that already most of the studio's American animators had left in previous years. I wouldn't be surprised if they've come to realize this was always unsustainable. The funny thing is, on their Wikipedia page, the last three real pieces of news/goings on out of LAIKA, aside from Kubo, are announcing an increase in staff to build up to a one movie-per-year output (from 2 years ago), a couple of options they've taken out, and a movie with an announced release date of 53 weeks from tomorrow without a title, cast announcement, plot synopsis, or anything. Considering both Boxtrolls and Kubo were announced when they were 18 months out, clearly something was going on.

also if we are being speculative and trashy in here I would be willing to bet a large sum of money that Travis Knight is a pain in the rear end to work with. he seems like the type of guy who is just fine at what he does, but since he comes from money he rises through the ranks very easily until he's at the top, at which point he becomes A Super rear end in a top hat. This is entirely speculation based on the fact that his dad owns the company and he at one point released an ill-advised rap record that probably only got produced because he was rich. also i imagine most children of super-rich people are assholes. edit: also i have a distinct memory of reading this article, which is probably too kind to Will Vinton, but still, Travis Knight really doesn't come off as someone who got where he is by hard work and talent.

Pick posted:What I've heard from a former Will Vintonite here in Portland is that Travis is actually, like, savant-level talented at stop motion animation. He is incredibly skilled and has no patience for anyone else who isn't as good at it as he is. I stand corrected. Normally "rich kid gets put in command of thing he's never done before" does not end that way. Chilly Tee is really embarrassing still, but I'd like to point out for those of you who are not rap fans: The Bomb Squad is a legit production outfit that includes the members of loving Public Enemy. I cannot imagine how much money Phil Knight must have given Chuck D to work with his dumbass son.

I would, however, accept a Space Jam starring Harden and Russell Westbrook learning to overcome their differences and work as a team and dunk all over Kevin Durant and his weakass Next Chapter ring chasing bullshit. Also, Charles was in the OG Space Jam so I dunno if he could star. Remember? He loves his mama.

If we're counting 7 seasons, then Archer (thread relevant!) and Parks and Recreation both hit the 7 season mark without being bad (aside from the first 6 episodes of Parks which doesn't count). Cheers is basically two shows taped together with (mostly) the same cast, but you could watch an episode from any season and enjoy it. Law and Order also, by virtue of being incredibly episodic.

Not too fond of the end credits version however. you should definitely catch the broadway musical then, if you're ever in New York or it starts touring, because there's not a Russian wizard or talking bat in sight. It's still not great, but it's definitely better. And still has the better songs from the movie.

Hedrigall posted:Pixar isn't very good at trailers. I haaaated both the Ratatouille and Inside Out initial trailers and those are probably my two favourite Pixar movies. You know what's really ironic about this (because you're definitely not wrong about it generally)? I think the trailers for Cars 3 have been really, really good. I'm still not 100% convinced that the movie is going to be as good as I would like it to, but I think the trailers show that Pixar got what was not so good about the last one, and have made a movie with a very obvious throughline that looks exciting (that demo derby track with the shooting flames looks v cool). I would not be surprised if Cars 3 lapped the first two and surprised everyone.

Because I think everyone else is too. edit: also wait hold on I've never seen it but from what I understand the live-action Josie and the Pussycats is actually an awesome satire of late-90's pop music/culture/commercialism.

Maluco Marinero posted:The character moments in Ratatouille are great. I really liked Anton Ego's review because it's credibly written well (unlike a lot of TV & Movie prose, where you just kinda have to take their word for it that they have good writing), and the voice acting along with it builds up to that enthusiasm for defending something new, that really sells his shift in attitude. I think the "But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so" line feels like an artist putting words in the mouth of a straw man (like, I don't think I could imagine Roger Ebert writing it), but the bit about how a great artist can come from anywhere is really beautiful.
